Setting Laura up on her new macbook (which I'm extremely jealous of) has gone somewhat smoothly. The problems always seems to have to be around using citrix. Before I had set up windows on my mac. After I had done that, a friend pointed out that there actually are plug-ins for the mac.
This setup has been working on my machine for months. Now, using the same plugins on the new machine, I couldn't get it to work at all. It would just give me a blank screen.
I found a helpful pdf explaining to change the shortcut that you launch safari with to be "Open in 32-bit mode". I changed the computer to this and lo - it worked. It allowed me to get a step further where safari prompted me that I had downloaded a file and should I allow this? Clicking okay got me past this. When I changed safari back to 64 mode, it still worked. So it appeared to be something were it was choking on that dialog box and couldn't figure out how to get past it.
Problem solved. Happy Laura. Mission accomplished.
